Chapter 608 She's Very Well-Behaved (Thirty-Seven)
Just as Shang Shang returned to her room, Pei Yanli called to ask if she had been discharged from the hospital.
Shang Shang replied cheerfully, "I've been discharged from the hospital and I'm home now."
Pei Yanli thought for a moment: "There's a public lecture tomorrow, would you like to come and listen?"
Shang Shang was delighted: "Is it convenient?"
Pei Yanli chuckled, "That's convenient. The open class is at 11:30. I'll come pick you up at 10:00, is that alright?"
Shang Shang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll text you in a bit and tell you how to get there."
Pei Yanli hummed in agreement, then changed the subject: "What are we having for lunch?"
When this comes up, Shang Shang has even more to say, mentioning that her maternal grandparents came over and that he was mentioned as well.
Before they knew it, they had been chatting for half an hour. Su Li called them to eat, and Shang Shang reluctantly hung up the phone.
Her face flushed as she went out, Su Li teased with a smile, "You're obviously on the phone with your professor? It's so nice to be young."
Shang Shang called out "Auntie" in a coquettish tone and took Su Li's arm, saying, "Weren't you and my uncle like this back then?"
Su Li quickly nodded: "That's not how it is. Your uncle almost wanted to kill me back then, he looked down on me."
Shang Xingzhou coughed lightly: "Speak properly, don't say everything in front of the children."
Su Li laughed heartily: "Still trying to save face even when you're old?"
Shang Shang chuckled to herself; she had heard her uncle and aunt's love story before.
After the meal, Shang Xingzhou and Su Li saw the two elderly people off. Before leaving, Bian Suxi called out to Shang Shang, "Invite Xiao Pei over for dinner later, and let your grandfather stew fish for you."
This made Shangshang blush, and under her father's very imposing gaze, she nodded stiffly.
In the afternoon, Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani came to visit Shangshang, bringing fruit and various snacks that Shangshang liked.
Shang Shang was shocked to see that both of their hands were full of stuff: "You guys are exaggerating. We only parted this morning, and you came to visit this afternoon with so much stuff. Are you treating me like a pig?"
She was the only one at home; Zhou Xiye had gone to work, and Jiang Zhizhi had also gone to her company.
The two girls came often and were very familiar with Shang Shang. Knowing that Shang Shang was home alone, they immediately relaxed and laughed as they lay down on the sofa: "I'm exhausted. I told them to buy less, but Nini insisted that you must be bored at home and want to eat something."
Shang Shang disagreed: "I can go online, play Red Alert, I can play all day long."
Wang Jianni chuckled: "Aren't you bored? If you are, we'll send you to see your Professor Pei."
Shang Shang proudly raised her head: "No need, he'll pick me up tomorrow to attend the open class."
Wang Jianni exclaimed, "Then dress up nicely tomorrow!"
Du Mengmeng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, dress up nicely tomorrow and seduce Professor Pei, so that those female teachers who have feelings for him will give up."
Shang Shang was surprised: "It can't be that bad, I'm still injured, what can I wear? I can only wear loose clothes."
Du Mengmeng clapped her hands: "Why isn't Shen Fanxing here? If she were, she could help you. She's a celebrity, and her aesthetic sense is amazing. Every time I see her photos, even I, a woman, am smitten."
Shang Shang thought to herself that it was fortunate Shen Fanxing wasn't around, as she had even more mischievous ideas.
However, they decided to ignore their advice and do whatever made them comfortable.
Wang Jianni suddenly sat up straight: "By the way, Shangshang, something big happened at noon today. Shi Jian was discharged from the hospital and went with his mother to apologize to Mengmeng."
When Du Mengmeng received Shi Jian's call, she was about to hang up when she heard his voice. Shi Jian hurriedly said, "Don't hang up, Du Mengmeng. I just want to apologize to you. I don't have any other intentions. Also, I will give you the money you mentioned."
Du Mengmeng sensed something was amiss and said that an apology wasn't necessary, just pay her if she accepted the offer.
Shi Jian refused, insisting on meeting him and apologizing in person.
Wang Jianni was curious, and since Yan Lei must have made the move, she wanted to know how Shi Jian apologized and asked Du Mengmeng where they would meet.
It happened at the entrance of Wang Jiani's residential compound.
Du Mengmeng agreed. What else could Shi Jian do at the entrance of the residential area?
When she and Wang Jianni arrived, Shi Jian and his mother were there. Upon seeing Du Mengmeng, Shi Jian's mother immediately knelt down, crying and begging Du Mengmeng for forgiveness.
Shi Jian also recounted how much money he had taken from Du Mengmeng over the years, and how her family had been exploiting him.
Wang Jianni has excellent language skills and gave Shang Shang a vivid description.
The merchants were all shocked: "Shi Jian actually apologized on his own initiative?"
Du Mengmeng nodded: "He also promised to raise the money and pay me back as soon as possible."
Wang Jianni sighed repeatedly, "It seems that Yan Lei really has a way with people. He actually managed to make those two shameless people bow down. They're probably going to raise the money to go back to their hometown and sell their house."
Du Mengmeng felt refreshed: "These past few days I've felt like a huge stone was weighing on my heart, but now it's been lifted off my feet. I can finally breathe so easily."
He chuckled as he spoke, "It seems Yan Shitou is quite capable."
Wang Jianni rolled her eyes: "He's been in Beijing for so many years, and he comes from a good background. He likes to make friends and his business is doing well. Although he can't compare to Shang Shang, he's still very successful in Beijing."
"And Yan Lei is also good-looking, tall and handsome."
Du Mengmeng was taken aback: "Yan Lei is good-looking?"
Wang Jianni clicked her tongue: "I told you you're blind. Ask Shang Shang if Yan Lei is better looking than Shi Jian. It's just that his personality is more goofy."
Du Mengmeng fell silent. To be honest, Yan Lei was indeed quite good-looking, with clear and bright features. Although he wasn't as refined as Pei Yanli, he was still handsome.
Born into a wealthy family, he naturally exudes an air of nobility.
Shang Shang nodded: "Yeah, I also think Yan Lei is quite handsome, better looking than Shi Jian. Back in high school, I thought you two would get together."
Du Mengmeng was both amused and exasperated: "We're good buddies, you wouldn't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Jianni glanced at Shang Shang and told her to ignore this fool and see how she would end up crying and going to Yan Lei later.
Because she had to attend a class with Pei Yanli the next day, Shang Shang had some insomnia. That night, after her parents had gone to sleep, she couldn't help but rummage through the wardrobe and try on all the clothes that suited her.
She stopped trying on clothes and obediently lay down on the bed when the wound was aggravated and she felt a slight stinging pain.
But I couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and played on the computer for a while until I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open before finally going to sleep.
It felt like she hadn't slept much when the alarm went off, and Shang Shang struggled to get up.
I sat on the bed with my eyes closed, trying to wake myself up. I heard someone talking outside. It was my father's voice, deep and powerful, with a hint of seriousness.
Shang Shang found it strange; her father never spoke in this tone at home.
I rubbed my eyes and then heard a gentle voice.
Shang Shang instantly snapped awake. How could Pei Yanli be at home?!
